The good news for John Gaub is that he’s done with shoulder surgeries. The reason for the good news is the bad news: His left shoulder can’t handle any more surgeries.

Gaub, 26, has bounced back from his latest physical setback. Over 55.1 minor league innings, opponents hit just .209 off the left-handed reliever. His fastball has hit 97 mph this season with Class AAA Iowa, and it consistently ranges from 93 to 95.
